Why This Dress is eco-friendly and GOOD for the environment:The "Green" color and floral design are connected to the spring/summer theme and very appropriate. The Outer material is 100% silk, which is a natural protein fibre. Obtained from silkworm, it cannot be cultivated artificially which is good for the environment. The inside polyester liner was made from recycled material, purchased at "Goodwill", which minimizes waste at landfills and supports a good local cause at the same time.
